Snopes: "Did George Washington Want Citizens Armed Against The Government?"

Alan: Given that Canada did not rebel against the British -- and proceeded to become one of the most peaceful, productive places on earth -- suggests to me that the United States became a barbarian outlier (now made visible by Donald Trump and his mad minions) because we polluted the source of our sovereignty with unnecessary bloodshed, blood spilt by wealthy white men whose acquisitiveness knew no bound.

This 250 year-old pattern of genocidal theft and unbridled greed continues unabated.
